Little League World Series

August 26, 2007, 18:40(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

I just watched the finals and caught several games this week.

Congratulations to the team from Columbus, Georgia for winning the series. Congratulations to the team from Kawaguchi, Japan as runner-up.

If you provide feedback please include what type of connection (cable, dsl, etc.) you have, what type of network card (10/100, giga, etc.) and what type of downloading you do (standard from browser, torrent, download manager, etc).

Here ya go (click thumbnail for a larger pic):
